Herm Choppers, the Adonia, and Rhetorical Action in Ancient Greece.

Fredal, James

College English, v64 n5 p590-612 May 2002

Presents a debate between traditionalist ideas from Xin Lin Gale and postmodern ideas from Cheryl Glenn and Susan Jarratt. Quotes Gale who says that you cannot have it both ways, foundational and antifoundational: using the historical evidence to champion Aspasia while at the same time "reclaiming" her from the biases of those very documents. Notes Jarratt's response to the contrary. (SG)
